Trombone Shorty Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Trombone Shorty:

Since I'm born here, my music will always have some New Orleans elements.

Whenever we can, we try to talk to students. If I can, I'll invite kids from a school to a sound check and take questions from them. I want to show them it's cool to play the trombone. Kids are influenced by what's accessible to them. It's hard for kids to be introduced to music other than what they see on TV and video.

Since I'm born here, my music will always have some New Orleans elements.

Being jazz-trained, things happen spontaneously. Even though it's funk rock, we still have the instincts of a jazz musician.

I got a chance to work with Mystikal and Mannie Fresh and Juvenile and all these people as I was growing up, and so that really influenced everything I do.

Trombone Shorty

I've grown up in the Treme, and I played in a bunch of brass bands. My brother, James Andrews, had a brass band.

No matter what setting I play in, I will always be New Orleans. It's one of the only cities where you can hang out with the Marsalis family, the Neville brothers, whoever it might be, and we all play together.

Trombone Shorty

Music brings unity.

Trombone Shorty

I just don't like looking at the crowd and seeing them just staring and listening to the music. When I get them involved, whatever type of music I'm playing, they leave there feeling better.

Trombone Shorty

Music is changing. I'm just doing what I'm doing, and hopefully in the next 20, 30 years, some kids can take what I'm doing and change it again. If the music doesn't move, then it's dead.

Trombone Shorty

I just want to spearhead and lead a new style of New Orleans music.

Trombone Shorty

Music should be pushed forward.

There's pride on Bourbon Street for the musicians that work there. They take it very seriously. I've never worked there or played in band there, but it's a part of the city. They play for the tourists and represent a whole different side of the culture of our city.

All New Orleans music is based off dance music, even jazz.

Trombone Shorty

I love to play. That's always been my passion.

Trombone Shorty

I was put on so many different musical stages growing up that I didn't think about what kind of music we played. I just thought music was music.

I grew up right in the heart of Treme, so it was a real music neighborhood, and there was a bunch of bands like the Dirty Dozen Brass Band around.

New Orleans is like a big musical gumbo. The sound I have is from being in the city my whole life.

I need New Orleans. And New Orleans needs me.

I'm very proud of 'Backatown,' and usually I don't like to listen to my records.

I've had a strong will power to become one of the best. And I'm not gonna let nothing stop me from going to my dream.

Trombone Shorty

As a kid, I would wake up, and there'd be a jazz funeral while I'm walking to school. And when I come home, you can find Rebirth band playing for a birthday party the same day.

Trombone Shorty

People get caught up in recreating something, and that actually hurts the genre of music because there's nothing new.

Trombone Shorty

I never really listened to any particular trombone players.

Trombone Shorty

Everyone who hears our music loves it, but how many people get to hear it?

Trombone Shorty

When we're ready to do the dress rehearsal, we'll rehearse in the dark. No lights. The reason why I do that is because I don't want the band to rely on me for anything. 'Cause anything can happen - I might stop singing or unplug the mic, just so everybody knows: Keep going, no matter what.

Trombone Shorty

I'm always trying to emulate guitar. Especially when I'm playing the trombone, that's what I think about. Like, I listen to guitar players every day: Warren Haynes, Lenny Kravitz, Prince, different people. And I'm always trying to find out a way how I can get my trombone to sound like that.

Trombone Shorty

I didn't grow up during the time that Louis Armstrong or Miles Davis and all those people were playing. So it's not really my responsibility to keep it up, what they were doing.

My parents pushed me toward trombone because they didn't need another trumpet player.

From the food to the Mardi Gras Indians to the brass bands and the second liners parading through the street, Jazz Fest presents New Orleans in one place.

Trombone Shorty

If I have to be considered any type of jazz artist, it would be New Orleans jazz because New Orleans jazz never forgot that jazz is dance music and jazz is fun. I'm more influenced by that style of jazz than anything else.

Trombone Shorty

I grew up listening to the Neville Brothers and the Rebirth Brass Band.

Trombone Shorty

When I play the trumpet, I'm in a different character.

Trombone Shorty

I've been playing music since I was four, so it's part of my life. It's all I know. It's just a part of my everyday living.

Trombone Shorty

The only thing we try and do is just be a part of the gumbo that New Orleans is.

Trombone Shorty

There's a lot of music at my fingertips that I can be influenced by. And just because I play a horn, I don't need to sound, or try to capture, what was happening before me. I can just respect it and learn from it.
